"  A  mighty  hand  from  an  exhaustless  Urn, 

Pours  forth  the  never-ending  flood  of  years 
Among  tlie  nations. 

!l|HAT    flood  has  borne   us  into  the  editorial  chair,  and  we 
^^  ^       have  the  pleasure  of  presenting  to  all   friends  of  the  M. 

(S  *^  • 

A.  C,  the  tenth  annual  volume  of  the  Index. 

We  have  endeavored  to  perpetuate  all  the  valuable  features  of 
former  issues,  and  to  introduce  such  new  ones  as  seemed  advisable. 
We  wish,  not  only  to  make  the  Index  a  full  and  exact  catalogue,  but 
also  to  make  it  a  reliable  exponent  of  student  life. 

The  publication  of  the  Index  is  fast  coming  to  be  the  anticipated 
event  of  the  Junior  year,  to  all  under-classmen.  May  each  year  add 
new  interest  to  the  work.  Let  every  volume  be  an  advance,  in  sym- 
metry and  perfection,  upon  the  preceding,  and  the  Index  will  be 
an  honor  both  to  the  college  and  to  the  class  publishing  it. 

The  growth  of  the  Index  has  been  rapid,  not  only  in  size  but  in 
quality.  The  first  volume  was  published  in  1869-70.  This  was  a 
thin  pamphlet  of  twenty-eight  pages,  containing  only  the  class  com- 
munications, the  members  of  the  college  societies,  and  those  of  the  four 
classes.  It  was  entirely  lacking  in  all  that  miscellaneous  matter, 
which  forms  such  a  prominent  part  of  later  numbers. 

Time  has  marked  out  its  usual  changes  during  the  year,  but  hap- 
pily most  of  these  have  been  to  our  own  advantage.  We  have  had 
a  live  head,  whose  invigorating  influence  has  been  felt  by  college  and 
student.  Order  and  neatness  have  sprung  into  life,  the  grass  grows 
greener  and  the  flower  takes  on  a  more  delicate  tint  now  that  its 
lover  is  near.  Ay,  and  even  we  cannot  fail  to  catch  the  inspiration 
and  love  the  music  of  the  flowers.  Students  !  we  can  well  be  proud 
of  our  Prex,  and  in  every  mental,  moral  and  natural  field,  strive  by

our  faithfulness  to  win  the  esteem  of  him,  whose  worth  is  felt  in 
other  lands  than  our  own. 

Our  college  has  lost  this  year  the  services  of  Dr.  Packard,  "Lec- 
turer upon  Useful  and  Injurious  Insects,"  the  Doctor  having  been 
called  to  anew  field  of  labor.  We  feel  the  loss  keenly  as  the  oppor- 
tunity of  hearing  his  lectures  was  one  of  the  privileges  of  the  Junior 
year.  It  is  earnestly  to  be  hoped  that  the  Trustees  will  soon  fill  his 
place,  although  they  cannot  make  it  good.  After  glancing  at  the 
amount  of  damage  annually  wrought  on  a  few  farm  crops  only,  by  the 
ravages  of  such  insects  as  the  potato  beetle,  phylloxera,  the  grasshop- 
per and  the  cabbage  fly,  whicli  cause  an  annual  loss  of  tens  of  mil- 
lions of  dollars,  no  one  in  the  Commonwealth  is  able  to  say  that  the 
study  of  the  habits  of  these  insects,  and  of  the  means  of  protecting 
ourselves  from  their  attacks,  is  not  of  the  most  vital  importance  in 
the  education  of  the  "  embryo  farmer." 

Lieutenant  Totten  left  college  at  the  ^  end  of  the  Summer  term, 
and  is  now  with  his  regiment  on  the  "  Plains."  He  was  an  officer 
who  thoroughly  understood  his  duties,  and  one  who  was  ever  on  the 
alert  to  execute  thgm  in  a  manner  most  beneficial  to  the  interests  of 
the  college.  One  does  not  have  to  search  far  to  discover  improve- 
ments introduced  by  him  in  and  around  college.  Whatever  he 
touched  seemed  instinctively  to  drop  into  mathematical  form  and  ar- 
rangement. Most  flattering  to  himself  were  the  changes  that  he 
introduced  in  the  dress  and  appearance  of  the  cadets.  No,  military 
discipline  and  study  is  one  of  the  most  essential  parts  of  the  educa- 
tion gained  at  the  M.  A.  C. 

No  successor  having  been  appointed  by  the  Government  at  the 
commencement  of  the  Fall  term,  the  Faculty  secured  the  services  of 
Captain  Smith.  He  adopted  a  most  excellent  practice  by  requiring 
all  upper  classmen  to  act  as  squad  drill  masters  of  the  Freshmen. 
By  this  course  those  men  that  assist  in  the  drill  will  be  made  more 
careful  and  reserved  in  their  conduct,  and  far  better  fitted  to  per- 
form their  duties  in  the  Battalion.  Captain  Smith  was  subsequent- 
ly relieved  by  Lieutenant  Charles  Morris,  detailed  for  this 
place  by  the  President  of  the  United  States.  Commandant  Morris 
has  varied  somewhat  from  the    methods    of  Lieut.   Totten,  decreas-

ing  the  number  of  companies  and  bringing  the  entire  organization 
into  as  simple  and  compact  form  as  possible. 

The  Editors  would  here  express  their  regret  that  no  more  time  is 
devoted  to  the  study  of  the  mental  sciences.  We  most  cordially 
indorse  the  words  of  the  Professor  of  those  sciences,  that  the  su- 
preme object  of  the  Agricultural  College  is  to  "  make  farmers,  men" 
in  every  sense  of  the  word.  Popular  opinion  has  complained  that 
such  studies  ought  not  to  be  in  the  curriculum  of  an  agricultural 
college,  that  it  would  be  of  no  after  use  to  the  graduates.  We,  as 
students,  indignantly  reject  such  comments,  and  demand  of  the  col- 
lege that  facilities  for  such  study  be  enlarged,  rather  than  con- 
tracted. Most  of  us  are  from  the  farms,  we  are  acquainted  with  the 
practical  side  of  agriculture,  we  want  to  study  the  theory  here,  to 
gain  a  liberal  education.  If  the  design  of  the  institution  was  to 
turn  out  ploiigh -joggers,  it  has  been  a  costly  experiment.  That  class 
of  farmers  is  in  the  majority  already.  Nothing  further  is  required 
to  fit  a  young  man  for  that  position  than  horny  hands  and  an  empty 
head.  But  a  progressive  farmer  has  other  things  to  become  ac- 
quainted with.  He  mui3t  not  only  be  versed  in  physical  philoso- 
phy, but,  as  he  is  dealing  all  the  time  with  other  men,  buying  and 
selling,  he  must  understand  human  nature;  and  what  is  that  but  a 
department  of  mental   or  social  philosophy. 

The  establishment  of  a  nursery  in  connection  with  the  Horticul- 
tural Department,  should  be  noticed  as  a  valuable  source  of  instruc- 
tion to  the  students.  This  was  a  needed  supplement  to  the  oral  in- 
struction in  horticulture.  Every  one,  during  the  Junior  year  at 
least,  has  "field  practice"  in  all  the  different  branches  of  fruit 
culture.  « 

The  students  will  not  forget  that  they  have  lost  one  pleas- 
ant and  genial  friend  this  term,  Mr.  Johnson.  Long  and  faith- 
fully did  belabor  at  the  college.  Always  readjT-  to  take  and  return 
a  joke,  his  team  was  a  favored  seat  with  every  one.  May  success  go 
with  him  in  his  new  home. 

The  editorial  would  be  incomplete  were  it  to  fail  to  speak  of  the 
departure  of  '78.  Faculty  and  student  may  well  think  of  that 
class  with  pride.     Strong  in  numbers  and  vigorous  in  intellect,  it

maintained  its  precedence  in  college  life  to  the  end.  The  college  was 
ably  represented  at  the  Boston  University  commencement,  by  Mr. 
C.  F.  Coburn  of  the  graduating  class.  He  was  pronounced  by  com- 
petent critics  to  have  been  the  best  speaker  of  the  day.  The  power 
with  which  he  handled  his  subject,  "  Tlie  Poetry  of  Science,"  clearly 
proved  that  the  students  of  an  "  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  Col- 
lege "  are  not  without  poetic  sentiment.  '78  has  many  good  friends 
among  us  yet.     Let  us  remember  the  injunction  of  the  poet, 

"  The  friends  thou  hast  and  their  adoption  tried, 
Grapple  to  thy  soul  with  hooks  of  steel." 

In  losing  '78,  we  gained  '82.  By  reason  of  the  munificence  of 
the  Trustees  in  remitting  tuition,  '82  even  surpasses  her  name  in 
extent  of  numbers.  As  a  class,  they  are  bracing  up  under  their  du- 
tiess  right  manfully,  althougli 

"  His  awkward  gait,  his  introverted  toes, 

Bent  knees,  round  shoulders,  and  dejected  looks. 

Procure  him  many  a  curse." 

The  Editors  are  sorry  to  send  out  the  Index  without  the  "class 
poem."  Nature  has  not  bestowed  upon  us  the  gift,  vouchsafed  to 
.  Homer,  of  expressing  our  tlionghts  in  numbered  sentences;  neither 
do  we  feel  it  honorable  to  plagiarize  the  original  meter  of  the  pre- 
ceding poet ;  and  finally,  if  we  were  dishonest  enough  for  that,  we 
should  still  be  without  that  grand  inspiration  of  "those  arithmetic 
signs,  among  the  pines,"  that  led    on  Seventy-nine  to  victory. 

The  editorial  pen  must  now  be  laid  aside  and  other  duties  taken 
up.  If  our  friends  are  amused  or  instructed  in  looking  through 
these  pages,  we  shall  have  received  our  reward. 

Many  pleasant  hours  have  been  spent  together  by  the  Editors  in  the 
preparation.  Hours  and  work,  the  recollection  of  which  will  long 
be  stowed  away  in  memory.  Now  we  send  it  forth  as  a  fitting 
souvenir  of  the  class  of  '80.

UE  Senior  year  has  flashed  upon  us  like  the  sudden  glare 
of  a  meteor,  bringing  with  it  tlie  thought  that  in  a  few 
short  months,  we  shall  be  launched  into  the  great  mass  of  humanity, 
fliaping  our  destinies  from  its  labyrinth.  Its  approach  we  have  an- 
ticipated, and  have  been  enlarging  our  resources  for  the  last 
three  years,  to  meet  its  responsibilities.  Although  we  have  not  gone 
as  far  in  our  preparations  as  we  might,  nevertheless  we  are  ready  to 
face  our  tasks  and  perform  our  duties  without  faltering. 

Fellow  students  !  whether  there  be  few  or  many,  our  good  examples 
only,  we  ask  you  to  follow  ;  while  our  bad  precepts,  we  .beseech  you, 
strive  to  avoid,  and  leave  the  way  with  at  least  one  less  stain  for 
your  successors. 

We  fully  realize,  as  all  must  who  have  spent  three  years  at  the 
Massachusetts  Agricultural  College,  that  farming  is  thehighestoccu- 
pation  of  man.  Commanding  little  respect  as  a  calling,  owing  to 
the  ignorance  and  lack  of  opportunities  of  its  followers,  agriculture 
needs  the  most  zealous  and  well  disciplined  men,  to  raise  it  to  a  proper 
standard.  To  this  end  has  our  Alma  Mater  been  established,  and 
her  sons  are  those  to  whom  the  plodding  throng  around  us,  are  look- 
ing for  help,  to  lift  them  from  their  undeserved  abasement. 

Our  college  has  achieved  so  much  already,  that  we  may  consider  it 
a  complete  success  ;  and  triumph  will  follow  triumph,  if  we  work, 
remembering  that  the  failures  we  encounter  are  but  the  guides  which 
will  lead  us  on  to  a  more  brilliant  victory. 

Many  more  duties  devolve  upon  each  individual  since  our  class  it 
so  small.     No  one  will  deny  but  that  our  class  badge  (  our  lenses  )  is

unique  as  well  as  useful.  We  have  also  departed  from  the  prevailing 
custom,  by  planting  class  vines  instead  of  trees. 

Through  the  enterprise  of  our  President  a  large  and  promising 
Freshman  class  has  entered  this  year.  This  experiment  shows  that 
there  are  many  young  men,  desirous  of  our  agricultural  education  if 
it  were  brought  within  tlieir  reach,  by  free  tuition.  We  trust  that 
our  Legislature  will  see  wherein  it  errs  and  try  to  amend. 

Already  we  look  back  upon  the  greater  part  of  our  college  days 
with  pleasure,  and  as  years  roll  by,  that  pleasure  will  ever  increase. 
A  kind  remembrance,  shall  we  always  cherish  for  our  Faculty.  We 
bid  all  a  hearty  farewell,  for  soon, 

"  We  leave  like  those  volcanic  stones  our  precious  Alraa  Mater, 
But  will  keep  dropping  in  again  to  see  the  clear  old  crater.  "

f^/^ 'llrtfe  EFE.ESHED  by  our  long  rest  from  stud_y,  again  we  enter 
%-M.  m  upon  the  duties  of  college  life,  with  new  zeal  for  the  work 
before  us.  The  routine  of  duty  comes  so  natural  that  we  scarcely 
realize  the  interruption  of  vacation,  save  from  its  beneficial  results, 
and  the  change  wrought  in  our  absence.  Yes,  there  are  changes, 
we  do  not  find  everything  as  wlien  we  left.  This  is  most  noticeable, 
first,  in  our  own  class.  While  it  was  permitted  us  to  welcome  to  our 
ranks  one  or  two  new  members  during  the  past  year,  still  our 
numbers  are  perceptibly  diminished.  In  vain  we  look  for  all  the  old 
familiar  faces  to  reappear,  and  for  a  moment,  a  shade  of  sadness 
steals  over  the  bright  horizon  of  our  hopes,  as  we  realize  how  many 
of  the  little  band  who  first  plighted  faith  and  honor  in  the  cause  of 
Eighty,  have  fallen  by  the  way.  But  there  is  no  time  for  repining. 
The  necessity  of  the  hour  only  demands  a  stronger  effort  and  more 
strenuous  action  on  the  part  of  those  who  are  left.  It  remains  for  us 
to  decide  whether  we  shall,  or  shall  not,  attain  tlie  summit  of  our 
ambition,  and  realize  the  consummation  of  the  hopes  which  have 
ever  been  the  beacoii  of  our  class,  guiding'  us  on  our  coarse  by  its 
strong,  steady  and  unceasing  light. 

Another  change,  a  source  of  deep  regret,  is  the  loss  of  our  former 
commandant.  We  mention  this  with  all  honor  due  him,  who  now  fills 
his  place,  but  it  would  be  impossible  for  us  to  transfer,  at  once,  the 
esteem  and  regard  formed  by  so  long,  pleasant  and  profitable  relations 
as  existed  between  commandant  and  cadets,  to  one  ever  so  worthy  of. 
the  same. 

And  now  we  note  another  change,  a  source  of  pleasure  rather  than 
of  regret,  namely,  our  new  title,  the  result  of  our  past  year's   labor.

It  gives  us  great  pleasure  also  to  welcome  so  large  a  Freshman 
class,  and  we  hope,  as  year  by  year  they  are  elevated  in  college  ranh, 
that  the  advantages  of  education  and  culture,  which  it  is  their  good 
fortune  to  enjoy,  may  tend  to  develop  that  trait  of  character,  so 
pleasing  in  those  on  whom  the  world  has  bestowed  its  honors,  a  just 
appreciation  of  the  worth  and  merits  of  their  fellows  ;  not  disdaining 
nor  patronizing  those  who  are  still  below  them.  And  in  the  spirit  of 
progress  rather  than  of  self  glory,  we  urge  them  to  greater  achieve- 
ments than  we  have  made,  or  indeed  any  preceding  class,  since  we 
can  point  thein  to  nothing  short  of  perfection.

S  we  sit  down  to  contribute  our  little  item  to  your   inter- 


«^^^  esting  colHums,  memories  of  our  eventful  Freshman  year 
& — ^i — * 

crowd  upon  us.  But  lest  we  weary  you,  we  will  refrain  from  enum- 
erating tliose  events,  which  are  of  interest  only  to  us,  and  cite  those 
which  are  of  more  general  importance. 

Of  the  twenty-four,  who  tremblingl}'  sought  admission  to  our  class, 
only  two  have  left;  three  others,  dissatisfied  with  the  result  of 
their  labors,  have  decided  to  review  their  studies  with  Eighty-two. 
Success  be  with  jou,  brothers,  and  may  your  industry  enable  you  to 
regain  a  place  in  our  ranks.  Our  best  wishes  go  with  those,  whose 
aspirations  were  too  great,  and  whose  brains  were  too  powerful  to  keep 
them  within  our  limits. 

After  considerable  debate  we  decided  upon  a  cane,  as  a  class  em- 
blem ;  and  now,  were  it  not  that  the  greed  of  the  Freshman  is  greater 
than  his  modesty,  you  might  see  several  of  our  number  gracefully 
swinging  the  finest  canes  that  ever  college  boys  possessed.  No, 
"Freshie,"  you  must  not  be  too  A^entursorae.  Have  compassion  on 
our  pockets.  They  are  already  only  too  well  filled  with  the  pieces  of 
jouv  walking  sticks.  We  are  glad  to  see  so  many  of  you,  coming  to 
fill  our  places,  and  we  note  with  pain  that  one  of  your  number  has  left 
you.  We  tried  hard  to  make  it  pleasant  for  him,  packing  him  off  to 
bed  with'  the  tenderness  of  a  mamma ;  and  when  one  poor  fellow 
was  shedding  tears  of  homesickness,  we  kindly  extinguished  his 
light,  that  he  might  not  see  himself  cry. 

Dear  college  mates,  take  example  from  us,  and  when  another  class 
shall  enter,  be  tender  vrith  them,  remembering   that  version   of  the

Golden  Rule  which  says,  ''As  others  do  unto  you,  even  so  do  ye  unto 
them  J' 

And  now,  classmates,  we  have  fairly  commenced  our  Sophomore 
year.  To  manj^  of  us,  it  is  the  last  in  college.  Who  knows  but 
that  it  is  our  last  on  earth  !  Let  us  then  be  up  and  doing,  and  may 
each  moment  add  a  polish  to  the  monument  of  our  character.

^^?i^\/^^ITH  pleasure,  do  we   present  our  first  contribution  to 
%     V  ¥      the  Index.     Our  stay  in  the  M.   A.   C.   has  been  so 

a)  ~-a  • 

short,  that  we  scarcely  have  been  initiated  into  the  common  routine 
of  college  life.  But  the  ''greenness,"  which  cliaracterizes  all  Fresh- 
men, and  which  is  greatly  magnified  by  the  compound  microscopic 
lens  of  a  Senior's  eye,  begins  gradually  to  wear  off,  and  if  nothing 
serious  happens,  we  expect  soon  to  take  up  a  contribution  to  procure 
wooden  tooth-picks  for  the  Senior  class. 

Our  number  exceeds  eighty.  We  are  mostly  men  whose  thirst  for 
knowledge  brought  us  here  ;  rather  than  the  desire  to  pass  away  time. 
Our  muscular  power,  we  think,  offsets  our  "greenness."  This  was  fully 
demonstrated  in  the  "  Grand  E,ush, "  where  Sophomore  refinement 
was  overpowered  by  Freshman  muscle.  Just  here  we  would  thank 
the  Juniors  for  their  instruction  in  some  of  the  arts  of  college  life. 
We  appreciate  their  kindness. 

One  tiling  very  noticeable  here,  is  Sophomore  bravery,  as  exhibited 
in  monopolizing  Freshman  canes.  We  admire  true  courage.  It  is 
an  honor  to  every  one.  But  does  manly  courage  consist  in  oppress- 
ing the  weak  ?  Our  most  worthy  Sophomores  seem  to  have  consid- 
ered it  as  such,  wlien  two  or  three  of  tlieir  number  pounced  upon  one 
poor  Freshman,  relieving  him  of  his  cane,  and  sawing  it  into  "match- 
blocks.  "  However  the  class  of  Eighty-two  has  a  great  deal  of 
charity,  and  is  patiently  waiting  for  the  time,  when  Sophomore 
knowledge  shall  become  so  extensive,  as  to  enable  them  to  under- 
stand that  the  word  "Hero,  "  has  a  deeper  signification,  than  "put- 
ting Freshmen  to  bed"  and  "  snagging"  canes. 

Friendship  is  very  valuable.      It  strengthens  the  weak,  urges  for-

ward  the  disheartened,  brings  one  student  in  closer  sympathy  with 
his  classmates ;  in  short,  it  makes  men.  Let  us  furbish  this  golden 
link  by  which  the  human  race  is  united.  As  Freshmen,  we  have 
looked  around  on  tlie  vastness  of  the  work  before  us ;  but  we  cherish 
deeply  the  hope  that  it  may  be  done  well.  Often  we  wish  that  the 
veil  of  futurity  might  be  swept  away  and  disclose  that  which  is  in 
store  for  us  ;  but  kind  Providence  has  forbidden  it,  and  we  must  wait 
for  the  turning  of  Fortune's  wheel. 

We  hope  and  trust  that  the  class  of  Eighty-two  will  chisel  her 
name  in  tablets  of  honor,  that  when  she  shall  lay  aside  her  mantle, 
and  throw  down  her  mask  and  foils,  other  classmen  may  seize  the 
tried  blades,  and  perpetuate  the  glory  of  our  Alma  Mater. 

Let  other  classmeu  cheer  their  band. 

With  armor  tried  and  true, 
Let  poets  chant  their  praises  bland ; 

We'll  shout  for  Eighty-two.

Parents  should  be  ver}^  careful  about  giving  their  children  firearms, 
when  they  start  oif  for  college,  although  it  is  the  common  opinion 
that  pistols  are  needed  in  the  collei^e  outfit.  A  serious  afi'air  happened 
here,  not  long  ago,  as  seen  from  the  above.  The  little  Freshman, 
becoming  alarmed,  discharged  his  pistol,  the  ball  passing  through  the 
door  and  the  partition  of  the  adjoining  room  and  lodging  in  a  pair  of 
pants.  We  might  logically  prove  what  the  result  might  have  been, 
had  the  owner  been  in  in  the  aforesaid  pants.  The  result  was  however, 
that  on  the  following  night,  a  big  boulder  came  crashing  through 
into  the  room,  completely  demolishing  the  door.  Damage,  $5.00.

^OW  when  the  days  of  pleasure  and  sport  werfe  all  uura- 
^M_  ^J  bered  and  ended,  there  were  gathered  together  a  goodly- 
number  of  youths,  in  so  much  that  they  chinned  among  themselves, 
saying,  "where  shall  we  abide  this  night,"  for  there  was  no  room  in 
the  building,  and  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days  there  went  out  a 
decree  from  William  the  Great,  that  every  man  should  take  unto 
niraself  a  chum.  jSTow  there  was  at  this  time  living  in  No.  6  S.  C,  a 
Senior,  short  of  stature  but  goodly  to  look  upon,  to  him  was  meted 
out  a  Freshman,  Luke  by  name,  the  same  did  not  grow  in  wisdom 
nor  did  he  find  grace  in  the  eyes  of  the  Senior.  Now  when  two 
weeks  had  already  passed  the  Senior's  wrath  was  kindled  within  him 
and  he  bethought  himself,  saying,  "  what  shall  I  do  that  I  may  rid 
myself  of  this  evil  ?"  This  will  I  do,  I  will  pull  up  his  carpets  and 
cast  his  furniture  from  among  mine,  yea,  I  will  cause  him  to  take  up 
his  bed  and  walk,  and  the  thought  pleased  him  so  he  set  himself 
to  accomplish  the  task,  and  labored  till  the  going  down  of  the  sun. 
Now  it  so  happened  that  there  was  at  this  time  living  in  the  room 
above  a  trusty  servant  of  William  the  Great,  David  by  name,  a  man 
after  his  own  heart,  a  man  of  valor  and  discretion,  one  in  whom  his 
soul  delighted  and  whom  he  had  made  ruler  over  all  things  from  the 
ash  pan  to  the  enlightened  Senior.  Behold  while  it  was  yet  day 
this  same  David  heard  the  rumor  of  a  great  noise  coming  from  be- 
low, and  stirred  himself  and  went  down  and  stood  in  the  door-way, 
and  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying,  "what  do'st  thou  here,  hast  thou 
not  read  the  decree,  that  has  been  decreed,  do'st  thou  not  fear  him 
who  can  read  thy  character  even  by  the  way  thou  wearest  thy  hat, 
hast  power  over  all  thy  future  life  whether  thou  shalt  prosper  in  this

world  or  not,  yea  verily,  who  can  send  the  hence  by  his  slightest 
breath,  dost  thou  not  fear  him  I  say?  But  why  stand  ye  here  idle? 
bestir  thyself  to  make  amends  for  the  evil  thou  hast  done,  but  I  will 
have  respect  to  thine  age  and  position,  I  will  give  till  the  going  down 
of  the  morrow's  sun  to  put  back  all  thy  Freshman's  goods,  his  furni- 
ture, his  carpet,  yea  all  that  thou  has  moved,  but  woe  be  to  thee  oh 
Senior,  if  when  I  come  thou  shalt  not  have  obeyed  my  commands 
that  I  commanded  thee,  it  were  better  for  thee  if  thou  hadst  never 
been.  For  I  swear  by  the  life  of  William  the  Great,  that  if  at  my 
coming,  everything  be  not  replaced,  be  it  even  a  tack,  thou  and  thy 
furniture,  thy  books  and  everything  that  that  thou  hast  shall  be  re- 
moved, that  this  room  that  knows  thee  now  shall  know  thee  no  more 
forever."  And  it  came  to  pass  when  he  had  made  an  end  of  speak- 
ing that  the  Senior's  knees  smote  one  against  the  other  and  his  tongue 
clove  to  the  roof  of  his  mouth,  so  that  what  he  would  say  he  could 
not.  Now  the  next  day  very  early  in  the  morning,  he  rose  up  even 
while  it  was  yet  dark  and  labored  hard  and  long  so  that  the  sweat 
stood  out  upon  him,  that  it  might  be  well  with  him,  when  David 
should  again  appear,  for  he  feared  both  William  the  Great  and  his 
servant  David.     Selah.

E  gladly  contribute  what  we  are  able,  to  the  perpetua- 
tion of  the  history  of  the  M.  A.  C.  A  yearly  schedule 
of  events  can  not  but  be  of  interest  to  all  connected  with  the  college. 
Especially  must  this  be  the  case  with  those  who  are  to  becouie 
connected  with  the  college  in  future  years.  1878  has  been  a  year 
barren  in  some  respects  of  those  occurrences  which  one  would  expect 
to  find  in  a  college  history. 

Farmers  institute  held  at  the  college. 

Seniors  visit  tlie  United  States  Armory  at  Springfield.

prize  in  Agriculture. 

Whiting  Street,  among  other  bequests,  left  the  college  $1,000. 

$1,000  was  given  for  the  purj;)ose  of  forming  an  experimental 
station.  An  association  was  formed  and  the  money  divided  up  as 
follows:  $500  to  test  the  feasibility  of  raising  Sorghum  and  manu- 
facturing sugar  and  syrup  from  it.  $200  to  test  the  nutritive  value 
of  Corn  raised  in  different  sections  of  the  Union.  $100  to  test  the 
purity  and  germinating  power  of  various  seeds.  $100  for  making 
practical  tests  with  the  lycimetre.  The  remaining  $100  to  be  spent 
in  ascertaining  the  effect  of  different  kinds  of  green  fodder  in  the 
quality  of  the  butter. 

A  lycimetre  was  put  in  on  the  field  in  front  of  Prof.  Stockbridge's.

/A(sm  Ijf^ii)  EMEMBERING  with  pleasure  our  experiences  at  Camp 

■^M  %  William  Knowlton,   upon   reassembling    this    Fall,    the 
p  ^  • — 
desire  was  early  expressed  of  renewing  the  enjoyments  of  camp  life. 

Many  difficulties  seemed  to  block  the  way  to  the  fulfillment  of  this 
wish.  Daily  meetings  were  held  to  enkindle  enthusiasm,  and  to 
work  out  some  definite  plan  of  operation.  After  having  become 
thoroughly  in  earnest  ourselves,  we  laid  siege  to  the  President,  to  ob- 
tain his  consent  and  sanction.  Here  we  encountered  many  objections. 
The  people  of  the  state  were  already  looking  with  displeasure  upon 
the  extent  of  the  Military  influence  at  the  college,  this  would  in- 
crease their  distrust ;  an  expedition  of  this  kind  would  sadly  interfere 
with  regular  duties,  etc.,  etc. 

Wearied  out  with  waiting,  we  fell  asleep,  and  w^hile  we  slept  our 
thoughts  were  woven  into  a  vivid  dream.  It  seemed  as  if  the  Presi- 
dent had  granted  our  request  and  that  we  were  making  preparations 
for  departure. 

But  it  must  still  be  a  longtime  before  we  could  go,  for  here  were 
eighty  Freshmen  who  must  be  broken  into  military  duties.  With 
such  incentives  before  them,  however,,  they  worked  with  alacrit}'. 
Special  drills  were  instituted   and  private   rooms   were  turned  into

drill  halls,  and  such  progress  made  that  in  a  few  weeks  time,  we  felt 
that  in  the  eternal  fitness  of  things,  we  were  ready  to  go  into  camp. 
As  the  previous  year  we  had  shunned  the  abodes  of  men,  in  pitching 
"our  camp,  Springfield  was  now  selected  as  our  camp  ground. 

What  a  bustle  and  confusion  of  preparation  !  what  a  host  of  little 
orticles  must  be  looked  up  and  put  in  readiness  !  Then  there  were 
our  military  trappings,  that  must  be  made  spic  and  s^an  ;  guns, 
cartridge  boxes  and  bayonets  that  must  be  cleaned  and  burnished.  At 
last  all  was  ready,  and  on  the  morning  of  October  10,  we  fell  into 
line  in  the  best  spirits.  The  signal  gun  was  fired  and  the  march  to 
the  cars  commenced. 

At  Springfield  we  pitched  camp  near  a  shady  grove,  just  outside 
the  city  limits.  Special  squads  were  detailed  to  clean  up  the  grounds 
and  mark  out  the  limits  of  the  camp.  Soon  the  snowy  tent  and  the 
measured  tread  of  the  sentinel  indicated  to  the  stranger,  that  he 
was  in  the  presence  of  a  military  camp.  In  such  employment  the 
remainder  of  the  day  was  spent,  until  darkness  brought  his  blessings 
of  rest.  But  we  were  in  too  new  and  unusual  a  condition  to  enjoy 
much  sleep.  What  with  mounting  sentinels,  and  the  attempts  to 
run  the  guard,  sleep  was  pretty  thoroughly  banished  from  camp  tliM 
night. 

With  day-break  came  the  summons  to  arise  and  fall  in  for  soup, 
around  the  camp-kettle.  This  was  the  only  whole  day  we  should  be 
there.  The  battallion  was  formed  at  9  A.  M.,  and  marched  into  the 
city,  where  it  was  reviewed  and  inspected  by  the  Mayor.  The  re- 
mainder of  the  day  was  spent  in  visiting  points  of  interest  in  the 
city.  Especially  did  we  keep  our  weather-eye  open  to  the  object  of 
the  expedition,  and  strive  to  increase  our  stock  of  military  and 
scientific  knowledge.  We  believe  that  in  this  respect,  our  success  is 
full}^  equal  to  that  attending  our  stay  at  Camp  William  Knowl- 
ton. 

Night  once  more  came,  but  it  was  not  to  be  undisturbed.  Some 
city  roughs  who  had  noted  our  arrival,  determined  to  play  a  practical 
joke  upon  the  Aggies.     During  the  still  small  hours,  the  camp    was 


K-it

suddenly  awakened,  by  tlie  slirill  cry,  "Corporal  of  the  guard,  post 
No.  1."  In  wild  excitement,  the  men  scrambled  for  their  guns  and 
equipments.  A  detachment  was  sent  out  to  look  into  the  origin  of 
the  disturbance.  A  charge  was  made  on  the  marauders,  who  were 
making  towards  our  stores,  three  or  four  were  captured  and  taken 
back  to  the  guard  tent,  and  placed  under  close  watch. 

Camp  was  broken  the  next  morning  and  we  departed  with  our 
captives,  but  not  till  the  camp  had  been  christened,  "Camp  Morris." 
At  the  depot,  we  took  leave  of  our  prisoners,  with  many  earnest 
wishes  that  they  would  not  forget  us.  The  train  was  boarded,  and 
camp  and  camp-life  were  left  behind.  Happy  were  we  to  be  once 
more  on  our  waj'  home.  Songs  and  music,  made  the  car  resonant, 
and  helped  to  wile  away  the  time.  The  other  passengers  might  not 
have  been  favorably  impressed  by  our  boisterous  mirth.  Be  that  as 
it  may,  we  believed  in  "a  time  to  laugh  and  a  time  to  cry,"  and  that 
the  present  was  a  suitable  occasion  to  practice  the  former  part  of 
this  maxim.  But  the  moment  was  fast  approaching  when  the  time 
"to  cry"  would  be  at  hand.  We  were  bounding  along  at  a  rapid 
rate,  when  just  ahead,  a  freight  train  came  in  sight,  the  distance 
was  too  short  for  either  train  to  slacken  its  speed,  and  with  one 
dreadful  crash,  they  came  together.  Music  and  song  ceased,  and 
thought  and  action  alike  died  away. 

'Twas  all  a  dream.  Imagination  had  been  busily  at  work  in  the 
drowsy  body,  but  this  fatal  termination  of  the  story  could  not  be 
borne  in  quietness;  the  limbs  once  more  obeyed  the  will,  and  sense 
returned.  The  car  was  transformed  into  a  bed-room;  the  collision 
'had  occurred  between  a  window  and  a  rock.  And  now  with  shiver- 
ing limbs,  the  idle  dreamer  was  investigating  the  damage,  and 
meditating  upon  "  how  vain  a  delusion  "  had  been  preying  upon 
him. 

Suffice  it  to  say,  that  although  our  attempts  to  go  on  a  military 
expedition,  have  failed  this  Fall,  still    it   is  our  earnest   hope,   that

THE  FUTURE. 


LMA  Mater !  dear  to  the   heart  of   the  Alumnus  are  the 
^^  memories  associated  with  the  name  :   never  from  his  mind 


can  the  recollections  of  his  college  career  be  eifaced  ;  and  in  living 
over  again  the  days  passed  at  the  old  college  home  he  is  led  to  muse 
upon  its  future,  and  with  interest  rekindled,  resolve  that  no  lack  of 
support  on  his  part  shall  detract  from  the  glory  of  his  loved  Alma 
Mater. 

Students,  it  is  by  you  that  our  college  is  to  be  judged  and  her 
future  will  be  largely  what  you  make  it;  the  time  rapidly  approaches 
when  you  will  leave  her  hospitable  walls,  and  take  your  places  in 
the  niche,  long  waiting,  for  men  educated  in  the  science  of  agricul- 
ture, able  to  read  understandingly  the  books  of  nature.  Now  is  the 
time  for  preparation,  neglect  it  not. 

Though  financial  causes  have  necessitated  a  reduction  in  the  corps 
of  instructors,  remember  that  the  institution  is  in  the  hands  of  those 
who  have  your,  and  its  greatest  good  at  heart,  and  that  they  feel  the 
loss  as  deeply  as  you,  and  will  surely  fill  the  vacancies  in  the  Facul- 
ty at  the  earliest  practicable  moment.  Whatever  may  be  your  per- 
sonal estimate  of  a  professor's  proficiency  in  his  department.,  re- 
member that  he  received  the  instruction  he  seeks  to  impart  to  you, 
while  you  were  still  under  the  maternal  care  ;  and  may,  except  in 
rare  instances,  be  supposed  qualified  to  teach  you.  The  Faculty 
are  sowing  the  seed,  if  your  preparation  was  sufiScient,  and  your  cul- 


■it-

tivation  is  thorough,  there  are  abundant  harvests  in  store  for  you. 
Undergraduates,  see  to  it  that  you  so  repay  the  fostering  care  of 
Alma  Mater,  that  in  after  years  she  may  not  only  never  be  asliamed 
of  your  relationship  to  her,  but  may  be  pi-oud  of  her  sons. 

Alumni  of  the  M.  A.  C,  the  time  will  come  when  the  mantles  of 
the  present  officers  of  the  college  will  fall  on  you  ;  already  two  of 
your  members  are  connected  with  the  institution  as  instructors. 
None  are  so  well  acquainted  with  the  resources,  needs  .and  possibili- 
ties of  our  college  as  we,  and  surely,  no  one  can  be  more  interested 
in  its  success;  it  is  therefore  not  only  our  right,  to  be  represented  on 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  but  the  welfare  of  the  college  demands  it, 
the  present  members,  have  been  surrounded  with  difficulties  almost 
insurmountable  ;  their  duties  have  been  arduous, yet'too  often  thank- 
lessly received,  in  some  instances  their  self  sacrificing  interest  in 
the  college  commands  oiir  highest  praise  ;  yet  the  greatest  success  of 
the  institution  can  only  be  secured  through  the  concerted  action  of 
the  Alumni  and  Trustees  ;  such  action  can  best  be  secured  through 
Alumni  representation  on  the  Board.  The  time  has  already  arrived, 
when  vacancies  should  be  tilled  from  our  number;  bear  this  fact  in 
mind,  that  when  called  upon  to  select  a  guardian  for  our  Alma  Mater 
the  best  man,  the  one  having  the  deepest  interest  in  her  success,  and 
best  able  to  carry  his,  and  our  ideas  into  force,  may  be  chosen. 

There  are  rumors,  and  we  fear  not  groundless  ones,  that  the  Presi- 
dent who  has  presided  over  the  affairs  of  the  Massachusetts  Agri- 
cultural College  from  its  infancy,  is  about  to  leave  us;  should  the 
rumors  result  in  facts,  where  can  a  successor  be  found  V  Alumni  this  is 
a  question  deeply  interesting  to  you,  give  it  the  thought  its  impor- 
tance demands,  for  on  its  successful  solution  may  depend  the  future 
weal  or  woe  of  our  cherished  institution. 

The  Trustees  have  -generously  granted  a  free  scholarship  to  each 
Alumnus,  and  thus  to  a  certain  extent  placed  the  responsibility  for  the 
welfare  of  our  Alma  Mater  upon  us,  and  events  have  already 
proved  the  wisdom  of  this  course;  nobly  have  the  Alumni  responded 
to  this  call  for  a  manifestation  of  their  interest  in  the  college,  and 
as  a  result,  the  class  of  '82  is  nearly  double  the  size  of  any  predeces- 
sor.    The    complaint  can  uo  longer  be  made,  that  there  is  no  call  for

the  institution ;  that  farmers'  sons  refuse  to  enter  its  halls,  or  that  it 
fails  in  its  object,  and  does  not  educate  farmers.  Fully  twenty-five 
per  cent,  of  its  graduates  are  actively  engaged  on  the  farm,  while 
others  are  occupied  with  such  kindred  pursuits,  as  teaching  agricul- 
ture, or  editing  agricultural  papers;  and  many  others  will  eventually 
return  to  the  farm  to  put  into  practice  the  knowledge  acquired  at  the 
M.  A.  C.  In  view  of  these  facts  it  is  possible  that  the  college  may 
soon  ask  the  Legislature  to  place  the  farmers'  institution  on  a  firm 
basis,  that  it  may  be  self-supporting  while  furnishing  free  tuition  to 
the  young  men  of  Massachusetts.  If  such  action  should  be  crowned 
with  success,  the  Alumni  must  see  that  two  so  important  chairs  as 
those  of  Veterinary,  and  Mental  Science  be  reestablished. 

"  Our  College"  has  experienced  botli  cloud  and  sunshine;  but  we 
believe  that  it  has  demonstrated  its  worth,  that  the  public  appre- 
ciates the  work  it  has  accomplished,  and  recognizes  the  fact  that  it 
supplies  a  need  long  felt,  till  now  never  satisfied;  that  the  Massa- 
chusetts College  of  Agriculture  is  worthy  of  the  old  "  Bay  State." 

The  maroon  and  white,  the  emblem  of  ''an  institution  which 
teaches  young  men  how  to  feed  themselves,  and  how  to  defend  them- 
selves," must  ever  wave  triumphant.

t 


I  ^-D  OORS    A^D     OUT. 


A  fertilizer,   almost   entirely  solii'ble    in   water, 

free  from  odor,  and  as  clean  as 

sng'ar  to  handle. 


It  is  made  expressly  for  flowers  growu  in  the  liouse  or  garden.  It  con- 
tains nearly  the  same  plant-food  as  stable  dressing,  and  produces  the  same 
results,  without  giving  off  in  the  room  that  offensive  and  unhealthy  odor 
whidi  arises  from  the  application  of  stable  dressing.  It  produces  a 
healthy,  luxuriant  growth,  and  induces  early  and  generous  flowering,  and 
cannot  in  any  way  harm  the  plants  if  applied  according  to  directions, 
which  are  very  simple,  and  accompany  each  package.  No  lady  who  de- 
lights in  flowers,  and  likes  to  see  them  do  well  and  bloom  abundantly, 
should  be  without  the  "Ammoniated  Food."  A  table-spoonful  dissolved 
iu  a  gallon  of  water  is  a  sufficient  quantity  for  twenty  ordinary  plants  like 
geraniums,  applied  once  a  week  for  three  or  four  weeks;  after  that,  not 
oftener  than  once  a  month.     Trial  packages  sent  by  mail,  post  paid  25
